STRADDLE CARRIER TYRE - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should I replace my straddle carrier tyres?

It really depends on a few factors, like how heavily they’re used, the loads they carry, and how well they’re maintained. As a rule of thumb, tyres should be replaced when the tread depth falls below the manufacturer's recommended level or when visible damage compromises their integrity. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help extend tire life and ensure optimal performance.

What are the key considerations when selecting tyres for straddle carriers?

The starting point for selecting the right tyre is always the dimension approved for the vehicle by the manufacturer. 

Other factors must be considered to ensure safety, performance, and cost-efficiency : 

  • Load Capacity: Make sure the tyres can handle the weight of both the vehicle and the loads it will carry.
  • Operating Conditions: Think about the specific tasks your machines will perform and the types of surfaces they’ll encounter, as this will influence your tyre choice. Straddle carrier tyres must be robust and provide good grip.
Can the MICHELIN X STRADDLE 2 be suitable for twin lift operations?

Yes, the MICHELIN X STRADDLE 2 480/95 R 25 size is designed for twin-lift operations, which involve lifting two containers simultaneously. It ensures support handling and stability, effectively navigating the complexities of the terminal environment.
